Dancers of the Prague Chamber Ballet (PCB) are currently rehearsing the choreography Nevyřčené ticho (Unspoken silence) by Tomáš Rychetský, based on the music by Leoš Janáček. Along with this new piece on PCB’s repertoire a re-run of the successful choreography Mono no aware (On the Edge of Beauty) will be performed on March 13, 2012 at the Ponec theatre in Prague.
Nevyřčené ticho (Unspoken silence), originally created by Tomáš Rychetský in 2007 as a part of the Czech ballet symphony for National Theatre in Prague is supposed to be slightly altered in the PCB version. The piece is inspired by a piano sonata Z ulice, based on student tragedy of 1905 and can be described as an innermost, intimate miniature for one man and three women. The stage design is by Milan Cais (Tatabojs), costumes by Roman Šolc, lighting design by Daniel Tesař and music supervision by Ondřej Urban. The motto of the choreography lies in the Martin L. Gore’s lyrics for the album Playing the Angel by Depeche Mode: „Angels with silver wings shouldn't know suffering, I wish I could take the pain for you. If God has a master plan that only He understands, I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through.“
The second part of the evening opens with the choreography Mono no aware (On the Edge of Beauty) by Hana Turečková, premiered on December 11, 2011 at the New Stage of National Theatre in Prague. The author asked Štěpán Polanský to collaborate on music, stage design and lighting design is by renowned German artist Marcus Selg and costume design was created in collaboration with Atelier LaFormela of Antonín Soukup. The name "mono no aware" appears in the Japanese literature and can be loosely translated as an authentic sigh of a being. It is the ability of great sensitivity, awareness of the beauty and transience of aesthetic object or creature, the embodiment of which in the Japanese tradition lies for instance in the short duration of a Sakura bloom. It is a "cry of the soul", amazement of the fragility of beautiful human dreams, but also the volatility, pain, aging and often perverse, insistent desire, even the ubiquitous dissolution and disintegration. The author was inspired to create a choreography on this topic in the course of a butó workshop with an outstanding Japanese butó dancer Sumako Koseki focused on her interpretation and rendition of the ephemeral qualities of beauty.
Mono no aware is performed also on 5th March at Ponec theatre as a part of a joint programme with the dance slapstick Princess by Palo Kršiak.
